[QUOTE="Arequire, post: 785452, member: 59283"] The issue is that the only real protection you have against malicious extensions is what Google/Mozilla/Opera, etc. implement on their end, and that protection has been proven to be absolute garbage. There's no way to know about an extension you're using changing ownership or know if that new owner were to push an update to said extension which contained malicious code. Frankly, if an extension isn't supported by a reputable, commercial entity then I'd argue it's undeserving of trust security-wise. [/QUOTE]
